Is this new? A freind's BMW i3 had one of these many years ago. (Defnitely pre covid)

edit: the frist generation was 2013

Not sure if electron is the issue, I believe vscode is based on it (I may be mistaken). Really wish they would sort Teams out.

I like the concepts and product, but when in a video chat I have to close most apps. I tried opening a JIRA ticket whilst on a video call the other day... my quads still have the scars

I skim most Show HN posts and think "that's cool", but never look at it again.

Seeing this, I thought that's cool and it's something I really want to start using! Thanks!

> <edit> I've reconsidered. It's really insulting.

In the most objective way possible, if I was a FOSS author, I'd find this comment insulting

Pour a beer down your sink for every dev who has abandoned a project - mostly in free time - due to demanding and entitled users

Yep exactly this. We've gotten into messes before when people are working on - or think they are - the same branch. Some os think they are the same, others different.

Also just finished migrating something that ran on IIS to linux, and got the casing pains once again.

If the universe were to be reinvented, I ask please make everything case sensitive by default

Just want to throw a small one in there: branch names are all lower case.

Prevents strange issues when you use a case insensitive file system like on OSX or Windows

I never had strong feelings about systemd, and the first time I used it I did prefer the service files to sysvinit scripts.

The real wow moment came when discovering socket activation which allowed systemd to take care of zero downtime deployments of web applications - for me that was reason enough to support the project.

Nowadays I'll use a container orchestrator to achieve the same thing, bit it was a good couple of years whilst it lasted.

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"

At the top of the script is the closest I fount to `set -e`

Not OP, but during a recent hiring process we asked for backend engineers (e.g. java/golang/databases etc). Half of the CVs we received were for Angular/React developers.

I'm unsure how this could happen with any sane vetting process.

I've just compared TablePlus to PGAdmin (the new web one), on a fast query which returns 1000 rows. The responsiveness of TP is really noticable

> There usually is a tradeoff when something is forced into something alien.

Exactly! My thoughts whenever I see people using nosql databases.

That's most of the internet for me (off black text on off white backgrounds). Firefox reader mode is my saviour.

Hopefully they're learning this lesson.

I can just see it now. A company's app is dying from all the timeouts to a slack webhook, however they can't deploy because slack is down.
